The data published by the state employment service agency shows that due to the lack of work experience and skills the young people cannot find a job.

22,5 % of registered unemployed people are people between 16 and 30. The least competitive are those unemployed for more than 3 years, the number of which is the biggest. 16 thousand jobseekers out of 74,8 thousand cannot find a job.

It appears that a young man with higher education will not only lose his last chance for employment after 3 years but will also become part of the army of potentially unemployed people.

If we multiply these figures by the coefficient of the ‘reality’, then we will have an image of the situation, which is a serious cause of concern for the authorities.

These days the Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan declared that young people cannot be deprived of the right for obtaining education, bypassing the assistance aimed at professional orientation and support for the young people.

From the first sight, it looks like everything is done to improve the quality of education, but after getting the diploma it turns up that no one needs the price paid for professional education and knowledge.

If in the Soviet Union it was planned how many specialists the country needed and then the young people were sent to the relevant institutions to implement their obtained knowledge and get professional experience, now in the conditions of market economy finding a job is equal to finding a black cat in a dark room.

Thus, it is a vicious circle, the exit of which is merely impossible to find.

The connection employer - Ministry of Education - professional orientation of the young people died and the new model has not been born during 20 years.

Who must examine the needs of the state as to the necessary specialists and guide the young people? Why the Ministry Education Science does not support young people, does not examine the professional demand of the state and draw conclusions? Who must be the guarantee of the bright future of the young people if not the Ministry of Education and Science?
